Hi--
I thought some of you might like to know about this website, which was timed to start operation around TCS's ngay gio, April 1st. A group of friends in France and the US, connected by internet, set it up. I'm including an explanatory note I received, along with an invitation to share your contributions and opinions.

It's a bit difficult to surf it to find things in English, so I enclosed those direct links:
1/ http://www.tcs-forum.org/songs/titles/zongs-intl : Translated version of
songs (some)
This link can also be found as followings: left column; " Nhac" ; " Bai Hat"; " Ban dich" ( scroll down way at the end)
Then the Vietnamese version can be found by scrolling back up to " Bai Hat".
The songs are listed alphabetically.
2/ http://www.tcs-forum.org/Members/ctp/News_Item.2004-03-27.1022
This link gets to the memoirs from Sam Thuong about TCS (ST is one of TCS's closest friend), Part One.
There is an English version for this one.
I did do a bit of translation in there. So let me know what you think. And we are of course interested in what your friends [that is, VSG (df)] would think of the site too. If they care to share their opinions in the " contact " section (to the webmaster), that would be great, as we are still constructing this site, and have a lot to learn still.
Hope you will enjoy the site.

Hi,
I wonder whether you know about Tinh Mahoney who left VN at 2 and has been playing with some big names in folk music. He recorded a double album of Trinh Cong Son with translations recently. Sings with a Phan Thiet accent, rather raw, unadorned voice.

Proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to the Village School Foundation to help build schools and give out scholarships in Viet Nam.
